Thank you for getting back to me, i changed the 'send' line back to

Quote:
send "iwconfig wlan0 | grep -o \"Signal level=....\" | cut -c14-16\r"
and it now works perfectlySmilie

---------- Post updated at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous update was at 04:59 AM ----------

Additional question - I have to convert the numbers as the value of the RSSI is in dB, how do i print out the values rather than just the formula:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f

set timeout 8
log_user 0
set ip [lindex $argv 0]
spawn -noecho telnet $ip
sleep 2

set count 0
set result 0
set value 0
set resultDb 0

send "PS1='PROMPT# '\r"

expect -re "PROMPT# '(.*)PROMPT# "
while {$count < 20} {
send "iwconfig wlan0 | grep -o \"Signal level=....\" | cut -c14-16\r"
expect -re "\r\n(.*)\r\n(.*)PROMPT# "
set valdB $expect_out(1,string)
set value 10^($valdB/10)
set result [expr $result+$value ]
set count [expr $count+1 ]
}
send "exit\r"
expect eof

set result [expr $result/20 ]
set resultdB 10*log(($result/10)/log(10))

puts "Average RSSI $resultdB"

TELNET-PROBE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   TELNET-PROBE(1)

NAME
telnet-probe - lightweight telnet-like port probe SYNOPSIS
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/telnet-probe [-c] [-v] host port DESCRIPTION
telnet-probe allows the pmdashping(1) daemons to establish connections to arbitrary local and remote service-providing daemons so that response time and service availability information can be obtained. The required host and port number arguments have the same meaning as their telnet(1) equivalents. The -c option causes telnet-probe to perform a connect(2) only. This skips the read(2) and write(2) exercise that would otherwise be done after connecting (see below). The -v option causes telnet-probe to be verbose while operating. Once the telnet connection has been established, telnet-probe reads from stdin until end-of-file, and writes all the input data to the tel- net connection. Next, telnet-probe will read from the telnet connection until end-of-file, discarding whatever data it receives. Then telnet-probe exits. To operate successfully, the input passed via telnet-probe to the remote service must be sufficient to cause the remote service to close the connection when the last line of input has been processed, e.g. ending with ``quit'' when probing SMTP on port 25. By default telnet-probe will not produce any output, unless there is an error in which case a diagnostic message can be displayed (in ver- bose mode only) and the exit status will be non-zero indicating a failure. PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configura- tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5). DIAGNOSTICS
If telnet-probe succeeds, then 0 will be returned. If the attempt to establish a connection fails or is terminated, then a non-zero exit status is returned. SEE ALSO
